Here's a strong reason to NOT consider Aphelion:

Here's another good reason: Pete Kite, CEO of Checkfree founded the company
on the notion that he wanted a better way for people to pay him the fees for
his services. He owned health clubs. Just think if he used the spammers
software or other types back then, where would online billpayment would be
today?
